Customizing the events used in Event Search

Edit online

You can send an extended set of Netcool®/OMNIbus event fields to Operations Analytics - Log Analysis and chart results based on those fields.

About this task

If you are adding or removing fields for the first time, then the OMNIbus insight generator tool can be used for adding or removing an extended set of fields to the OMNIbus insight pack. The advantages of using this new tool are:
  • It upgrades the existing OMNIbus insight pack.
  • There is no need to delete the existing datasource and its data.
  • The existing dashboards and any custom dashboards continue to work.
The OMNIbus insight generator tool can be downloaded from here: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6335269
Note: If you have previously used the addIndex.sh script to add additional fields and created the DSVToolkit based insight pack, then continue to use this instead of the OMNIbus insight generator tool.

What to do next

If you install a newer version of the OMNIbus Insight® pack than your customized one, then it will overwrite the custom fields, and you will need to run the OMNIbus insight generator tool again to restore your customizations.
